While it's officially a sequel to the immensely popular Chrono Trigger, Chrono
Cross is completely its own role-playing game with over 40 characters, a branching
story line, and multiple endings. Like its predecessor, the game is about crossing
through time and setting things right. This story focuses on Serge's quest for
the Frozen Flame, which will give the beholder the power to bend space and time.
Serge wants the power to save himself from dying in a parallel universe but,
as you can guess, nefarious forces are also vying for the Frozen Flame to suit
their own purposes. Chrono Cross features the stylish character designs and
wondrous cut scenes that gamers have come to expect from SquareSoft, but the
game also has a number of gameplay innovations. Though the battle engine is
essentially turn-based, characters don't have to wait their turn to cast a spell
or make an attack; battles are moderated by stamina. Also, the repetitive battles
with lesser monsters that make so many RPGs sag can be easily avoided because
all monsters can be seen on the screen.
